4.8 from 75 reviews

A simple and delicious recipe for Starbucks-style Egg Bites, featuring fluffy eggs combined with cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and diced vegetables, baked to perfection in muffin tins for a satisfying breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/2 cup diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

For Greasing

  • Cooking spray or oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C) to ensure even baking of the egg bites.
  2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a silicone or regular muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to prevent the egg bites from sticking during baking.
  3. Whisk Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Cheese and Vegetables: Gently fold in the shredded cheese and diced vegetables to distribute them evenly throughout the egg mixture.
  5. Fill the Muffin Tins: Pour the egg mixture into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for expansion.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly puffed and firm to the touch.
  7. Cool: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool for approximately 5 minutes to set further and make them easier to handle.
  8. Remove from the Tin: Carefully remove each egg bite from the muffin tin, using gentle pressure if using a silicone mold, and transfer to a serving plate.
  9. Serve Warm: Enjoy the egg bites warm, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for convenient later consumption.

Notes

  • You can customize the vegetables based on your preference or what you have available, such as spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
  • Use either cheddar or mozzarella cheese depending on the flavor profile you prefer.
  • Make sure not to overfill the muffin cups to avoid spillage during baking.
  • Leftover egg bites can be reheated gently in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese and shredded cheese with vegan alternatives.
